Chemical, water or other analysis requiring exact measurement and
dispensing of liquid reagents relies on the use of pipettes. Some
pipettes are disposable, however, reusable glass pipettes are preferred
because they are typically of higher quality and are calibrated more
exactly. The main disadvantage of using glass pipettes is the difficulty
of cleaning them between users.

Many new biological drug products produced using recombinant DNA
technology, such as monoclonal antibodies, are produced in cell culture.
The host cell produces the therapeutic proteins that are often secreted
outside the cell into the surrounding culture medium. Purification of
the therapeutic proteins requires separation of the host cell mass from
